The only pre and compressor I decidely did NOT like, were the 72 pre and the 1176. That really surprised me.
I would really like to see (hear) similar tests with with some FMR gear thrown into the mix. I think most people agree that they are an amazing value considering the quality, but just how do they stackup to say, oh I don't know, HCL???
HCL, you guys rock! So do you, Lowswing!
thanks mark I'm happy to hear that you could enjoy this little test I did in my studio.
by the way also we in the studio were not impress with the v72 so much especially considering that it is in great condition and recaped.
what you can't hear is how good v72 takes eq so if you just try the v72 file with ca. 4db shelf at aroung 10-12khz you will be surprise how good it sounds and can appriciate the mid color it has.
